if spaces break this is not desirable.

FWIW, the tests

Speaking of build failures with the legacy make system, I see a build
failure on FreeBS
Thank you! Don’t forget to comment it – especially because it is fake.

Hi Simon,
The issue
Hi Simon,

* It does not happen on HEAD
* It does happen on wip/T19495, a tiny patch with one innocuous change to
GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType
I can't see how my patch could possible cause "missing files" in ghc-bignum!
I'm guessing that there is a missing
